[0033] Example 1:
[0034] The utility model proposes a semi-fluidized aquatic plant purification bed, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main tank body 1 and the water outlet trough 2 are separated by a partition wall 3. The main tank body 1 includes a main filler material 4 and hydroponic plants 7, which are planted on the main filler material 4. The main tank body 1 also includes a water inlet 8, which is located at the bottom of the main tank body 1. The partition wall 3 includes a water outlet 6, which is located at the top of the main filler material 4 in the vertical direction. The main tank body 1 also includes an overflow port 5, which is located above the overflow port 5. The water outlet 6 and the overflow port 5 both connect the main tank body 1 and the water outlet trough 2.
[0035] The depth of the purification bed is 1 to 4 meters, and a lightweight filler with a density similar to that of water and slightly heavier than water is used as the main filler. Preferably, the main filler 4 is one or more of EVA sponge, polyurethane sponge, and fiber balls.
[0036] The main filler is granular, and its shape is spherical, square or special-shaped, etc. Preferably, the particle size of the main filler 4 ranges from 1 to 3 cm.
[0037] The water flow in the purification bed is bottom-in and top-out. During routine operation, the flow rate is low, and the main filler 4 is gravity-compacted, filtering the incoming water. The hydroponic plants 7 absorb pollutants and enhance microbial activity. During self-cleaning operation, the flow rate is high, and the main filler 4 is fluidized. Suspended matter trapped in the filler 4 is discharged through the outlet 6 and overflow 5.
[0038] In the present invention, the opening area of the overflow port 5 is more than ten times the opening area of the water outlet 6. In order to realize the functions of the water outlet 6 and the overflow port 5 respectively. Figure 2 As shown, the opening shape of the water outlet 6 is a hole, and the position of the water outlet 6 along the height direction is not lower than the top surface of the main filler 4. The opening shape of the overflow port 5 is a rectangle.
[0039] The purification bed of the utility model solves the problem that traditional artificial wetlands are easy to clog and difficult to recover after clogging by designing water outlets and overflow ports set at intervals and utilizing the property that the main filler can be in a fluidized state. It uses an integrated unit structure to achieve sewage purification and flushing and self-cleaning of the purification bed, thereby extending the operating life of the plant purification bed.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, water inlet 8 is located vertically below the main packing 4. A porous water inlet plate 9 is located below the main packing 4. The lower side of the water inlet plate 9 is connected to the water inlet 8, ensuring uniform water inflow into the purification bed. The pore size of the water inlet plate 9 is smaller than the particle size of the main packing 4, providing good support for the main packing 4.
[0041] Furthermore, a filter device is provided within the outlet trough 2, positioned vertically between the outlet 6 and the overflow 5. When the purification bed is in self-cleaning operation, fallen leaves from hydroponic plants 7 are located in the upper layer of the overflow water and are discharged through the overflow 5. These fallen leaves and branches are intercepted by the filter device to prevent them from affecting drainage from the outlet trough. The filter device eliminates the need for manual collection of fallen leaves during the self-cleaning process.
[0042] Preferably, the filtering device adopts an intercepting screen 11 with a porous structure, and the intercepting screen 11 is horizontally placed at the bottom of the overflow port 5.
[0043] Preferably, the hydroponic plants 7 are low-growing groundcover plants with shallow, fine root systems, such as pennywort, pink-green foxtail algae, and giant purple-rooted water hyacinth. Although some plants may shift relative to the bulk filler 4 after fluidization, they can quickly adapt and regrow, making harvesting easier.
[0044] The purification bed of the utility model solves the problem of support and harvesting of wetland plants in artificial wetlands with lightweight fillers by using low ground cover, shallow root system, and fine root system hydroponic plants in combination with granular lightweight main fillers. It also solves the problem of wetland plants needing to be replanted after cleaning and overhaul of artificial wetlands with lightweight fillers.
[0045] Example 2:
[0046] The utility model proposes a semi-fluidized aquatic plant purification bed, such as Figure 3 As shown, the main tank body 1 and the water outlet trough 2 are separated by a partition wall 3. The main tank body 1 includes a main filler material 4 and hydroponic plants 7, which are planted on the main filler material 4. The main tank body 1 also includes a water inlet 8, which is located at the bottom of the main tank body 1. The partition wall 3 includes a water outlet 6, which is located at the top of the main filler material 4 in the vertical direction. The main tank body 1 also includes an overflow port 5, which is located above the overflow port 5. The water outlet 6 and the overflow port 5 both connect the main tank body 1 and the water outlet trough 2.
[0047] The depth of the purification bed is 1 to 4 meters, and a lightweight filler with a density similar to that of water and slightly heavier than water is used as the main filler. Preferably, the main filler 4 is one or more of EVA sponge, polyurethane sponge, and fiber balls.
[0048] The main filler is granular, and its shape is spherical, square or special-shaped, etc. Preferably, the particle size of the main filler 4 ranges from 1 to 3 cm.
[0049] The water flow in the purification bed is bottom-in and top-out. During routine operation, the flow rate is low, and the main filler 4 is gravity-compacted, filtering the incoming water. The hydroponic plants 7 absorb pollutants and enhance microbial activity. During self-cleaning operation, the flow rate is high, and the main filler 4 is fluidized. Suspended matter trapped in the filler 4 is discharged through the outlet 6 and overflow 5.
[0050] In the present invention, the opening area of the overflow port 5 is more than ten times the opening area of the water outlet 6. In order to realize the functions of the water outlet 6 and the overflow port 5 respectively. Figure 2 As shown, the opening shape of the water outlet 6 is a hole, and the position of the water outlet 6 along the height direction is not lower than the top surface of the main filler 4. The opening shape of the overflow port 5 is a rectangle.
[0051] The purification bed of the utility model solves the problem that traditional artificial wetlands are easy to clog and difficult to recover after clogging by designing water outlets and overflow ports set at intervals and utilizing the property that the main filler can be in a fluidized state. It uses an integrated unit structure to achieve sewage purification and flushing and self-cleaning of the purification bed, thereby extending the operating life of the plant purification bed.
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the water inlet 8 is located vertically below the main body packing 4. A perforated water inlet pipe 10 is installed at the bottom of the main body packing 4, connecting to the water inlet 8 and covered with a mesh. The perforated water inlet pipe 10 passes through the bottom of the main body packing and is evenly distributed with multiple holes. A mesh is applied to prevent particles of the main body packing from entering the perforated water inlet pipe 10. The main body packing 4 is directly supported by the bottom of the main tank body 1. This design ensures uniform water inflow to the purification bed without affecting the main body packing.
[0053] Furthermore, a filter device is provided within the outlet trough 2, positioned vertically between the outlet 6 and the overflow 5. When the purification bed is in self-cleaning operation, fallen leaves from hydroponic plants 7 are located in the upper layer of the overflow water and are discharged through the overflow 5. These fallen leaves and branches are intercepted by the filter device to prevent them from affecting drainage from the outlet trough. The filter device eliminates the need for manual collection of fallen leaves during the self-cleaning process.
[0054] Preferably, the filtering device adopts an intercepting screen 11 with a porous structure, and the intercepting screen 11 is horizontally placed at the bottom of the overflow port 5.
[0055] Preferably, the hydroponic plants 7 are low-growing groundcover plants with shallow, fine root systems, such as pennywort, pink-green foxtail algae, and giant purple-rooted water hyacinth. Although some plants may shift relative to the bulk filler 4 after fluidization, they can quickly adapt and regrow, making harvesting easier.
[0056] The purification bed of the utility model solves the problem of support and harvesting of wetland plants in artificial wetlands with lightweight fillers by using low ground cover, shallow root system, and fine root system hydroponic plants in combination with granular lightweight main fillers. It also solves the problem of wetland plants needing to be replanted after cleaning and overhaul of artificial wetlands with lightweight fillers.
[0057] In summary, from the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0058] 1. The purification bed of the utility model solves the problem that traditional artificial wetlands are easy to clog and difficult to recover after clogging by designing water outlets and overflow ports set at intervals and utilizing the characteristics of the main filler in a fluidized state.
